In this latest Gamasutra gallery, we present a selection of artwork from the portfolio of Rockstar San Diego's senior concept artist Eric Lin, whose artwork and character designs have been used in games such as
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition,
Spy Hunter 2 and
Test Drive Off-Road: Wide Open.
When asked why he got into the games industry, Lin responded as follows:
"I have loved games since the Nintendo Famicom era, my favorite game back then was Rockman (Megaman). Back in the college days I played a lot of Playstation games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and the Resident Evil series with roommates. At that point of my life I’ve decided to be a game artist instead of films.
